Suffering from Limerence

[hopeisalive]

  My marriage is in Limbo. She wants
 to leave but for the time being, wants us to carry on and just be civil. I want it to work  SO BAD. What I feel and experience seem to be described as Limerence. Who's gone through this?

Hi and welcome, glad you’re here.

I’m relatively new so I’m going to ask, what is limerence?  Sounds like a combination of in limbo and ambivalence.

If so, I’ve lived it for 15 years, it’s part of the push/pull dynamic of the disorder.  Is this what you’re referring to?

More details on how it began, specific instances, make it easier for those with more experience to guide you.

Again, welcome!
